4Tocll 'whom it may concern:

lle it. known that I, Giiiiiiiirr L. BELCHER, n citizenl of the UnitedStates, residing at Oakland, in the county of Alameda and State ofCalifornia, have invented new and useful Improven'ieiits inPaste-Receptacles, of which the following is a specification. I

My invention relates to paste receptacles, particularly, those designedfor use with shaving brushes. Its 4object is to provide a receptaclehaving a handle to act as a reservoir yfor the paste or asa holder for aremovable cartridge containing the paste, and employing mea-iis fordischarging portions of the contents of the reservoir or cartridge fromtime to tiine as desired; the paste being at the rear end of the handlerather than at the forward end and directly into' the bristles.

The invention consists of the parts and the construction and combinationof parts as hereinafter more fully described and claimed, havingreference to the accompanying drawin s, in which- Pignres 1-2-3 and 5 rere'senting variations Fig. 4 is a suitableI view of a filled cartridge,as an original package. Fig. 6 is a perspec-J tive view of my rin andpusher.

A represents a ho low tubular handle open at the outer end and havingthe usual bristles of my invention.

i 2 secured in' any appropriate manner to the projecting through theother end. The handle is of suitable and convenient size and is made ofan'y appropriate stiff, noiicollapsible material. It screws or isotherwise secured in the socket of the head 3 of the bristles and isslotted lengthwise fqom its inner end for a major part of its length asshownjat 4. It is embraced by a ring or sleeve A"which carries a pusher6 slot 4 to propel the follower 7. .The pusher shown consists of a stripof metal bent at its middle portion and extending throurh the slot 4 ofthe container of Fi 1, and the cartridge of Fig. 2, and behind thefollowei, said pusher being adapted alid designed to operate thefollower.

The sleeve is. laced on tlie'liiiiitllc.:iiid the pusher en'gag in theslot before the handle is screwed or otherwise secured in the socket ofthe 4head 3. The pusher and sleeve are thus kept from coininl olf atthat end, and

the uncut portion of tlie handle at the outer ciid of the slot preventsthe sleeve and pusher commer oil" over the other end. lonscquently thepusher and sleeve may be moved back are sectional views and forth on thehandle, but as .long as the handle remains fixed in the bristles-headthe part may not be separa-ted.

i In Fig. 1 the handle is adapted as a reservoir for the paste which isprevented from escaping through the slot by means of the wafer 8'; theouter end of the handle being closed by a screw cap 9 having a dischargeorifice which is closed by a cap 1() when the device is not in use. Tooperate, the cap 10 is removed and the sleeve 5 moved a sullicientdistance to cause the follower .to force out the desired quantity ofpaste; the pusher 6' serving o vcut the wafer and propel the follower.he exnded paste is removed from the end of the handle and rubbed in inthe proper manner by the bristles. The viscosity of the soap or aste issuch that I may ein ploy a brush with a holder B as iii Fig. 3 in whichthe nipple and cap 10 are omitted; the brush bein simply Idropped,handle down, into the ho der B and the orifice in the cap 9 closed bythe bottom of the'holder.

In Fig. 2 I employ a friable cartridge 8 of suitable .constructionadapted to be' filled with paste and to have one end closed by thefollower member 7; the opposite end having a discharge orifice, closedprior to using-'the cartridge in the handle, by suitable means as. thecap 11, Fig. 4. These cartridges which ma be in the form of paper orpaste board cylinders with the self-contained follower 7, are filled inthe factory and carried in stock to be sold and used with brushessupplied with my, slotted handle and pusherr 6, which latter is entirelyseparate from the follower. When the cartridges are loaded with paste atthe factory they are closed at the one end by the follower and the otherend by suitable means as the cap 1l which may be of paper or pulp orother cheap material suitable to exclude air from the eontentsxof thecartridge and prevent esca-pc of the in'a-terial from the cartridge. Theloaded 'cartridge 'is thus au original package with one end noi inallyclosed by the blocker folloiver; the cartridge being pnt up and sold inthis conA dition.

Vhen a handle is to be loaded the ca 11 is removed and the cartridgedroppe follower-end down, into the handle. 1`he open end ofthe handle isthen closed by the perforated closure 9.

Whenever a cartridge is emptied, the closui'e'S) is taken off, thecartridge with rits cartridge with its follower in place, inserted intothe handle. y

In Fi I show a further modification in which tie handle' is adapted tolake a removable friable cartridge 8 having;` its own nipple 12 andscrew ea 13 at one endand closed at the other'jen by the follower 7. Themain 'difference between this device and .that of the other figures isthntI use a screw/ Y there is room enough inside the flange 9 toadmitthe fingers so that the cap 13 may be unscrewed t`o permit thecontents of the cartridge to be dlschurged; the dischar e being,r

y done by means of the follower, pu 1er and sleeve. The cap 9 may beIdescribed asa cylinder with ain internal agnular ange between its endsto provide` an abutment' and stop for the cartridge.: the cylinder onone side of s ald internal flange being internally threa'lc-led to' l'tover the end of the handle.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim and desire to secure byALetters latent., is-

1.' The combination with a container haw normally closing the oppositeend and adapted to expel the contents of the container through saidoutlet, of a. ring surrmgnlding the outside ,of the container andfli'rvinvpusher lcomposed of a strip vofimafte'ial'" nt. at its middleportion and extendingfrom the-ring through one side of the container andbehind the follower, and adapted to operate the latter from the out- 2.The combination Rwith a holder havinga longitudinal slot-in \one side, acartridge removably fit-ted totheholder, said holder having!` an outletthroI 0h which the contents of the cartridge may e discharged, a follower nornullly closing one end of the cartridge and adapted to expelthe contents of the cartridge through theoutlet of the holder, a ringsurrounding the outside of the holder said' ring having a. pushercomposed of a strip of/metal bent at its middle portion and extendinfrom the ',rin throuvh the slot' of the ho der and behintI the fo lower..'andi apted to operate'thedatter from the outsi 'VIn testimonywhereof`I have hereunto set my hand in presence of two subscribingr wilnesses.'
